What does it do?
This policy sticks to providing a very basic cover against inpatient hospitalisation. Like any traditional health policy it covers all general expenses incurred during admission to hospital. Emergency ambulance to transfer patient from home or accidental site to hospital and back from hospital to home is also provided. Apart from inpatient treatment, it covers specific 130 such procedures not requiring a 24-hour hospitalisation due to technological upgradation. A free health check up can be availed at the end of four continuous claim-free years.
